Noguchi Table
Introduced in 1947; Reissued in 1984
Designer: Isamu Noguchi, 1904-1988
Design History/Concept

Noguchi's first furniture design was a rosewood and glass table designed for A. Conger Goodyear, president of the Museum of Modern Art from 1929 to 1939
The IN50 is very similar to that first design with a freeform sculptural base and biomorphic glass top
Noguchi believed that sculptures shouldn't be left in museums, they should be used and appreciated in everyday applications
Originally offered in birch, walnut, or cherry
The table balances sculptural form with everyday function beautifully and harmoniously
It is an elegant embodiment of the concept that less is more
Part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art

Product Features/Benefits

Legs are two identical pieces of solid wood
Legs are connected by a metal dowel that when assembled appear to have a free-flowing form
Base is self-stabilizing and supports the heavy top without connectors
For authenticity purposes, Isamu Noguchi's signature on the edge of the glass and a signature medallion on the bottom leg were added on 2003
"Trade Dress" protection from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which provides a powerful defense against the unauthorized manufacture, distribution, or the use of the design's likeness
